802.11ac for harsh, weather-protected areas
Product overview
Rugged Aruba 228 wireless APs deliver gigabit Wi-Fi performance to 802.11ac mobile devices in harsh, weather-protected
environments such as warehouses, industrial freezers or enclosures in extreme environments such as stadiums.
With a maximum data rate of 1.3 Gbps in the 5
faster than 802.11n APs and provide performance similar to a wired connection.
The 228 APs include ClientMatch technology, which eliminates sticky clients by continuously gathering session performance
metrics from mobile devices. This informa
Proactive and deterministic, ClientMatch dynamically optimizes Wi
If a mobile device moves out of range of an
better AP.
With ClientMatch, 228 APs load web pages faster, deliver video streams with improved quality and support high densities of mobile
devices. An 802.11ac network wi
The rugged 228 APs additionally support priority handling and policy enforcement for individual Microsoft Lync media on the
same device, including encrypted videoconferencing, voice, chat and desktop sharing.

- Sealed connector interfaces to lock out dust and moisture
- Connectorized antenna ports support high gain large public venue antennas
- Designed for enhanced physical security.
• Delivers 1.9 Gbps aggregate throughput.
- EtherChannel link aggregation on two Gigabit Ethernet ports provides 1.9 Gbps throughput.
• Supports aggregate data rates up to 1.9 Gbps
- 802.11ac transmit beam-forming to enhance signal, throughput and multi stream operation

• Best-in-class RF management
- Integrated Adaptive Radio Management technology manages the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radio bands and ensures
that APs stay clear of RF interference.
• Spectrum analysis
- Capable of part-time or dedicated air monitoring, the spectrum analyzer remotely scans the 2.4-GHz and
• 5-GHz radio bands to identify sources of RF interference.
• Wireless mesh
- Wireless mesh connections are convenient where Ethernet drops are not available.
• Security
- Integrated wireless intrusion protection offers threat protection and mitigation and eliminates the need for
separate RF sensors and security appliances.
- With an OpenDNS
protection to every device connected to the WLAN.
- Encrypted IPsec VPN tunnels securely connect remote users to corporate network resources.
- Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure storage of credentials and keys.
- SecureJack-capable for secure tunneling of wired Ethernet traffic
service subscription, Aruba Instant APs delivers integrated web filtering, malware and botnet
.
• Controller-managed AP or Remote AP (RAP) running ArubaOS. When managed by Aruba Mobility Controllers, 228 APs
offer centralized configuration, data encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as distributed and
centralized traffic forwarding.
• Aruba Instant AP running InstantOS. In Aruba Instant mode, a single AP automatically distributes the network
configuration to other Instant APs in the WLAN. Simply power-up one Instant AP, configure it over the air, and plug in the
other APs – the entire process takes about five minutes.
